Fasten a variety of screw sizes in compact machinery where overhead clearance is minimal. These L-keys have a stubby leg that's up to 50% shorter than others to squeeze into extremely tight spaces. They also have a ball tip on one or both ends that engages the drive with less contact than a straight tip, so you can turn screws at an angle instead of head on. Ball tips don't grip as tightly as straight tips, however, and may strip the drive of the fastener if you crank them too hard.

Bend these L-keys around obstacles to access a variety of screws in hard-to-reach places. A flexible spring at the tip flexes into spots where a rigid key might not fit. Once in place, twist to turn the screw or swing it like a traditional L-key. These L-keys may wobble if you crank them too hard.
